Nathan Rogers pays tribute to legendary Dad in National Tour – Audio Interview
Halifax, NS – October 1, 2011 – Stan Rogers fans will be delighted to learn that his talented son, Nathan Rogers will bring his songs to life this November in a cross-Canada tour titled, Nathan Sings Stan – The Rogers Legacy Continues.
Woody & Arlo Guthrie, Leonard and Adam Cohen, Bob & Jacob Dylan and Stan and Nathan Rogers. Some say genes, while others claim the sons of these songwriters went out and earned it. Whatever the case may be, Nathan Rogers has managed to carve out his own cutting edge niche in today’s music world while at the same time keeping a foot planted in the tradition so well defined by his father Stan.
East Coast Kitchen Party Publisher, Michael Trenholm, reached Nathan in Winnipeg as he was preparing for the tour. This interview was recorded Friday, September 30, 2011 and you can listen to it below.
Nathan Rogers Interview on "Nathan Sings Stan" by eastcoastkitchenparty
Nathan has increasingly been turning heads with his own material. His performance style leaves the audiences wondering where the rest of the band is hiding. Singing, chanting, playing the guitar and stomping, he fills any stage with “magnificent powerfully clear lyrics and arrangements.” Described as ‘intelligent and witty’, Nathan will ‘move men and women to tears with his sound and conviction.” In doing so he is gaining new fans every day.
Along with his original material, Nathan has always found room during his performances to include one or two of his father’s songs. From these performances sprung the idea to do a one-time tour performing Stan’s repertoire.
As discussed in the interview, here’s the classic video of Stan Roger’s Barrett's Privateers, filmed in an East Coast Kitchen, of course!!
